Databricks, a data and AI software company in the US, introduced an updated version of its AI agent, Genie, on November 11.

The company said Genie can handle multi-step tasks using an ontology that gives the tool context from customer data stored on the Databricks platform.

Rather than use a staged demo, CEO Ali Ghodsi showed his internal agent and recent conversations.

He showed how Genie analyzed weak spots in an employee satisfaction survey, summarized a sales pitch to a prospect that went poorly, and prepared likely podcast questions based on his past appearances.

Ghodsi said he uses Genie to find problems inside Databricks that senior leaders might not hear about directly.
